  • Publication number: 20250129870
    Abstract: A line connector assembly and a line connector for fluidically connecting fluid lines is described. A housing has: a receiving space; a connecting piece; and a channel through which fluid can flow. The channel through which fluid can flow has a first straight channel portion and a curved channel portion. The curved channel portion directly adjoins the first straight channel portion in such a way that fluid can flow through, and the curved channel portion can be connected to a second straight channel portion in such a way that fluid can flow through. The curved channel portion has an inner channel line and an outer channel line, the outer channel being less strongly curved than the inner channel line. The outer channel line of the curved channel portion has, over an entire extent of the curved channel portion, a length (L).

  • Patent number: 12168965
    Abstract: A vehicle drive having a vacuum system for a vehicle having an internal combustion engine that is connected to a supply air line and to an exhaust air line. The vacuum system has an ejector. A propellant gas line opens into a nozzle channel of a propellant nozzle of the ejector. The nozzle channel opens into a mixing chamber of the ejector through a nozzle opening. A suction line opens into the mixing chamber and the mixing chamber on an outlet side opens directly or indirectly into a mixed gas line. The mixed gas line opens into the supply air line. The suction line is connected to a vacuum consumer, and the nozzle opening in the propellant nozzle is formed by a nozzle edge having teeth and/or corrugations.

  • Patent number: 12140167
    Abstract: An angle piece for fluidically connecting fluid lines of a vehicle. The angle piece has a channel portion for altering a flow direction of a fluid about an alteration angle. An input flow direction of the fluid into the angle piece and an outlet flow direction of the fluid from the angle piece form limbs of the alteration angle. At least one guide element is arranged in the channel portion, which guide element protrudes into the channel portion. The at least one guide element altering the flow direction of a part of the fluid by the alteration angle. The angle piece thus has a low pressure drop.

  • Patent number: 11905978
    Abstract: A jet pump comprising a jet nozzle for accelerating a propellant. The jet nozzle has a convergent inlet part and an outlet part connected to the convergent inlet part. The outlet comprises an inner wall diverging at an opening angle. The opening angle is designed such that a propellant flowing through the outlet part at subsonic speed is detached from the inner wall and a propellant flowing through the outlet part at supersonic speed is guided by the inner wall. An automatic, cost-effective and simple changeover of the jet pump to different pressure ratios is hence provided.

  • Publication number: 20220258073
    Abstract: A device for degassing a liquid flowing in a liquid line is provided. The device has an inlet opening, an outlet opening, and a capillary element having an inner wall surface. The capillary element extends between the inlet opening and the outlet opening. The inlet opening is connected in a fluid-communicating manner to the outlet opening and is connected in a fluid-communicating manner to the liquid line. The inner wall surface has a material that is liquid-repellent for a liquid flowing in the liquid line. A device is thus provided for degassing a liquid flowing in a liquid line that reduces the time needed for degassing.

  • Publication number: 20220221088
    Abstract: A fluid line having a wave form portion is furnished. The wave form portion extends at least at a minimum distance along a longitudinal axis of the fluid line. The wave form portion has a wave peak element (18), which itself has, along a peripheral direction extending around the longitudinal axis of the fluid line, a varying distance from the longitudinal axis, the distance including a distance curve in the peripheral direction, the distance curve providing a non-circular contour. A fluid line is thus provided having a wave form portion, which fluid line reduces the pressure drop at the wave form portion.
